Acts 2
1¶ And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5¶ (And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.)
6Now at this sound, the multitude came together and were confounded because each one heard them speak in his own tongue.
7And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these who speak Galilaeans?
8And how do we hear each one speak in our own tongue, with which we were brought up?
9Parthians and Medes and Elamites and the dwellers in Mesopotamia and in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
10Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11Cretes and Arabians, we hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
12And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another, What does this mean?
13Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
14¶ Then Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea and all ye that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known unto you and hearken to my words;
15for these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;
18and for certain on my slaves and on my handmaids I will pour out in those days of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy;
19and I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke;
20the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood before that great and notable day of the Lord shall come;
21and it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know,
23him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain,
24whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
25For David speaks concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved,
26therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover even my flesh shall rest in hope
27because thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
28Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30Therefore being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne;
31he, seeing this before, spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left in Hades, neither did his flesh see corruption.
32This Jesus God has raised up, of whom we all are witnesses.
33Therefore being raised up by the right hand of God and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which ye now see and hear.
34For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand
35until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37¶ Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized each one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39For the promise is unto you and to your children and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40And with many other words he testified and exhorted, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation.
41So that those who gladly received his word were baptized, and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
42¶ And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship and in breaking of bread and in prayers.
43And fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44And all that believed were together and had all things common
45and sold their possessions and property and distributed them to everyone, as each one had need.
46And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food together with gladness and singleness of heart,
47praising God and having grace with all the people. And the Lord added to the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} daily such as should be saved.

Acts 2
2
The Ruach Fills the Disciples
1When the day of Shavuot had come, they were all together in one place.
2Suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3And tongues like fire spreading out appeared to them and settled on each one of them.
4They were all filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh and began to speak in other tongues as the Ruach enabled them to speak out.
5Now Jewish people were staying in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.
6And when this sound came, the crowd gathered. They were bewildered, because each was hearing them speaking in his own language.
7And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “All these who are speaking—aren’t they Galileans?
8How is it that we each hear our own birth language?
9Parthians and Medes and Elamites and those living in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and parts of Libya toward Cyrene, and visitors from Rome
11(both Jewish people and proselytes), Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring in our own tongues the mighty deeds of God!”
12And they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other, “What does this mean?”
13Others, poking fun, were saying, “They are full of sweet new wine!”
Peter Speaks to the Shavuot Crowd
14But Peter, standing with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: “Fellow Judeans and all who are staying in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and pay attention to my words.
15These men are not drunk, as you suppose—for it’s only the third hour of the day!
16But this is what was spoken about through the prophet Joel:
17‘And it shall be in the last days,’ says God, ‘that I will pour out My Ruach on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18Even on My slaves, male and female, I will pour out My Ruach in those days, and they shall prophesy.
19And I will give wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth beneath— blood, and fire, and smoky vapor.
20The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and glorious Day of Adonai comes.
21And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of Adonai shall be saved.’
22“Men of Israel, hear these words! Yeshua ha-Natzrati—a Man authenticated to you by God with mighty deeds and wonders and signs God performed through Him in your midst, as you yourselves know—
23this Yeshua, given over by God’s predetermined plan and foreknowledge, nailed to the cross by the hand of lawless men, you killed.
24But God raised Him up, releasing Him from the pains of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held by it.
25For David says about Him, ‘I saw Adonai always before me, for He is at my right hand so that I might not be shaken.
26Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced; moreover, my body also will live in hope,
27because You will not abandon my soul to Sheol or let Your Holy One see decay.
28You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’
29“Brothers, I can confidently tell you that the patriarch David died and was buried—his tomb is with us to this day.
30So because he was a prophet and knew God had sworn with an oath to him to seat one of his descendants on his throne,
31David saw beforehand and spoke of Messiah’s resurrection—that He was not abandoned to Sheol, and His body did not see decay.
32“This Yeshua God raised up—we all are witnesses!
33Therefore, being exalted to the right hand of God and receiving from the Father the promise of the Ruach ha-Kodesh, He poured out this—what you now see and hear.
34For David did not ascend into the heavens; yet he himself says, ‘Adonai said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
35until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
36“Therefore let the whole house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him—this Yeshua whom you had crucified—both Lord and Messiah!”
Teshuvah—Thousands Immersed
37Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the rest of the emissaries, “Fellow brethren, what shall we do?”
38Peter said to them, “Repent, and let each of you be immersed in the name of Messiah Yeshua for the removal of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
39For the promise is for you and your children, and for all who are far away—as many as Adonai our God calls to Himself.”
40With many other words he warned them and kept urging them, saying, “Save yourselves from this twisted generation!”
41So those who received his message were immersed, and that day about three thousand souls were added.
New Covenant Community Begins
42They were devoting themselves to the teaching of the emissaries and to fellowship, to breaking bread and to prayers.
43Fear lay upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were happening through the emissaries.
44And all who believed were together, having everything in common.
45They began selling their property and possessions and sharing them with all, as any had need.
46Day by day they continued with one mind, spending time at the Temple and breaking bread from house to house. They were sharing meals with gladness and sincerity of heart,
47praising God and having favor with all the people. And every day the Lord was adding to their number those being saved.
